Weather Makers: How Industrial Wind Turbines Are Changing The World’s Climate

As the mantra has it, wind turbines are the perfect panacea for rising temperatures. The ever fearful fret about the planet’s temperature rising a couple of notches (apparently an increase of just 1.5°C means instant disaster and pumping it up by 2°C means an irreversible catastrophe). Now it seems that these things are playing their … Continue reading Weather Makers: How Industrial Wind Turbines Are Changing The World’s Climate

Inevitable Transition: Why Intermittent Wind Power Drives Power Prices Through The Roof

Every country attempting to run on wind and solar suffers rocketing power prices; no exception. In Britain, power prices jumped 50%, overnight, when a legislated price cap was lifted; and power prices continue to rise at an astonishing rate. Subsidised wind power is at the heart of Britain’s power pricing and supply calamity. Pete North … Continue reading Inevitable Transition: Why Intermittent Wind Power Drives Power Prices Through The Roof

Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions

Death and taxes are certainties, so too the wind and solar industry’s critical dependence on massive and endless subsidies. Those pushing wind and solar keep telling us that the power they produce is ‘free’ and getting cheaper all the time. Every so often, rent seekers and their political enablers are faced with the retort that, … Continue reading Wind & Solar Subsidies: High Time To End The Never-Ending Story of Wasted $Billions

How Big Banks Conspire to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies

That the big end of town is keen to profit from the greatest economic and environmental fraud of all time, is no secret. Banks have been attempting to wreck reliable and affordable power supplies, for the best part of 20 years, dressing it up as “corporate social responsibility”. There’s nothing moral about it; it’s all … Continue reading How Big Banks Conspire to Wreck Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies

Game Over: Vlad Putin’s Ukrainian Invasion Spells The End For ‘Green’ Energy Dream

All of a sudden, energy security and affordability is the new black. The Russian onslaught in Ukraine has focused thinking on energy supplies, like nothing before. The West has taken its energy advantages for granted, for far too long. But, the energy pricing and supply calamity that’s followed Vlad’s aggressive bid for territorial expansion, has … Continue reading Game Over: Vlad Putin’s Ukrainian Invasion Spells The End For ‘Green’ Energy Dream

Apologise Now: West’s Attempt To Rely On Wind & Solar A Monumental Mistake

Anyone who still believes in an ‘inevitable’ transition to wind and solar, clearly hasn’t been paying attention. The same crowd tells us that ‘coal is dead’, ignoring the fact that coal demand continues to rise and the record prices paid for the black stuff is through the roof. The Russian advance on Ukraine has only … Continue reading Apologise Now: West’s Attempt To Rely On Wind & Solar A Monumental Mistake

The Great Green Lie: Wind & Solar Aren’t Saving The Planet, They’re Wrecking It

The idea that unreliable wind and solar can save the planet is one of the greatest lies, ever told. In touting their purported environmental credentials, the crony capitalists, rent-seekers and fawning advocates never take into account any of the associated costs. It’s all sunshine and suitably stiff breezes, as far as the wind and sun … Continue reading The Great Green Lie: Wind & Solar Aren’t Saving The Planet, They’re Wrecking It

Not Green: Eagles Constant Victims of Wind Industry’s Endless Bird Slaughter

With the world’s wind turbines slicing and dicing thousands of eagles, owls, hawks, and kites every day, wind farms are more slaughterhouses than power generators. Millions of tonnes of beneficial bugs get splattered annually, along with millions of birds and bats, some of them being among the last of their kind. At the apex of the avian … Continue reading Not Green: Eagles Constant Victims of Wind Industry’s Endless Bird Slaughter

Constant Community Pests: Giant 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep ‘Dropping’ In On Neighbours

For wind industry spin-kings, one pesky problem that won’t go away is the routine and catastrophic collapses of their 300 tonne whirling wonders. We’re repeatedly told that rural communities just can’t wait to have hundreds of these things speared into their backyards. Except, of course, if those backyards belong to former Greens leaders, like Dr Bob … Continue reading Constant Community Pests: Giant 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep ‘Dropping’ In On Neighbours
